Rf values are determined by the polarity of the substance tested. Even though these atoms may have similar electron configuration, it is not identical, and neither are their Rf values.

Is plutonium positive or negative?

The neutral atom of plutonium has no charge.


Why is an iron ion is attracted to a sulfide but not a zine ion?

An iron ion and a sulfide ion have positive and negative charges respectively, and they attract each other. But having positive charges in both, iron ions do not attract with zinc ions.


Which electrode do the copper iron move towards?

Copper ions will move towards the cathode (negative electrode) and iron ions will move towards the anode (positive electrode) in an electrolytic cell.


Iron ions with a positive 2 charge and a positive 3 charge are called what?

Fe 2+ is Ferrous Fe 3+ is Ferric


Which one of the following metals is most likely to form several different positive ions?

Transition metals are most likely to form several different positive ions because they have multiple oxidation states due to the availability of d orbitals for electron transfer. Among the options given, iron (Fe) is a transition metal and can form different positive ions such as Fe2+ and Fe3+.


Name one metal that is multivalent?

Examples of multivalent metals are lead, iron, tin, mercury and copper. They will be written using Roman numerals. To be multivalent they have to have a valence level of at least three or higher.


Do ions have ions?

Ions are atoms that have either gained or lost electrons. Ions are normally formed by chemical processes. For example the rusting of Iron yields various types of Iron Oxides. Iron metal and oxygen gas both become ions. So when an atom becomes an ion through chemistry it always has a counter-ion (one positive and one negative). Some ions can vary in their charge depending on the situation, for example Iron often has a 2+ charge but can also easily have a 3+ charge. However, this is not formally considered "an ion of ion."


Fe2O3 is named iron oxide because it contains which type of iron ions?

Fe2O3 is named iron oxide because it contains Fe+ ions.


What is Fe3 positive?

Fe3+ is the chemical symbol for iron (III) ion, which is a positively charged ion of iron. It means that the iron atom has lost three electrons, resulting in a charge of +3. Iron (III) ions are commonly found in compounds and minerals.

What is the individual ions for iron iii and sulfate?

The individual ions for iron (III) are Fe3+ ions. The individual ions for sulfate are SO4^2- ions.


The charge on the iron ion in the salt Fe2O3 is?

The charge on the iron ion in Fe2O3 is +3. Iron (Fe) can form different ions, but in this case, each Fe ion carries a +3 charge to balance the -2 charge of the oxygen ions in the compound.
